depends on the situation, if friends pop round, it means do you want a cup of coffee
if you bring someone home after a night out, coffee could mean spending the night alone with you

In most cases it means exactly what it says: would you like some coffee, often provided by or at the expense of the person who asked the question. Among friends "having coffee" also invariably means talking with one another.
If you have been asked by someone you've just met if you'd like a coffee, the person probably wants to get to know you better and is issuing a vague invitation to a date. What sort of date depends on exactly where you'll be going for coffee. If you're going to a coffee bar or cafe, chances are the person would like to talk with you and get to know you better. That might lead to something more later, but it's not likely to on this date. If instead you're going to the person's house/dorm room/apartment, the invitation is MUCH more vague and could be a euphemism for almost anything. You need to use your best judgment in such a situation.

Depends what the situation is. If it was a neighbour it would mean "Would you like to come in for a coffee and have a chat". If it is a girlfriend, it could mean the same thing. If it was a boyfriend, they may arterial motives. Would you like a coffee may been they are expecting you to sleep with them. If that is what you think the case maybe, then make it clear before you come in for coffee what you expect of them.

it means: would you like to come nside so we can maybe have some coffee and some idle chit chat which will inevitably end in the two of us rolling around on the couch and then transferring the whole activity to the bedroom where you will wake up in the morning and wonder if maybe you did the right thing and i will wonder if if i'm a bit of a floozy? VERY loaded question....

There are a lot of coffee houses around. I won't pass one next time without having a look though.

I remember back in my youth, inviting someone back for coffee, and when we got to my room (university) I asked the give-away question (without thinking)... "Do you really want some coffee?"
